Woops, the new testcase is failing on windows ... I'll track it down.

>
> The question of how to backup an index comes up every so often on the
> lists. Backing up and index is also clearly an important fundamental
> admin task that many applications need to do for fault tolerance.
> In the past you were forced to stop & block all changes to your index,
> perform the backup, and then resume changes. But many applications
> cannot afford a potentially long pause in their indexing.
> With the addition of DeletionPolicy (LUCENE-710), it's now possible to
> do a "live backup", which means backup your index in the background
> without pausing ongoing changes to the index. This
> SnapshotDeletionPolicy just has to mark the chosen commit point as not
> deletable, until the backup finishes.
